Array Data Types

These data types are the basis for the generation of one-dimensional array objects. An array is a data structure that consists of a sequence of similarly structured data. Individual elements of an array can be referenced by their index that indicates the position of the element in the sequence.

Array data types have an element data type that determines which data type the array elements must have. Element data types can be elementary, structured, enumeration, and even array data types. Multidimensional arrays can be realized by using array data types as element data types of array data types.
